Qatar's clout irks Israel
After Israeli allegations circulated that Qatar was financing Arab candidates in Knesset elections, the report noted that no evidence had been presented to support them, but said they revealed Israeli frustration over Qatar’s growing influence. It quoted a Channel 12 correspondent accusing Qatar of expanding its influence through pressure, public relations, investments, media, and universities. The report said Qatar had spent around $250 million on 88 lobbying and public-relations firms in the United States, and that its agents had held 627 meetings with political figures. The report concluded that Qatar had become an influential international player, and that its expanding presence in politics, media, and the economy was causing concern for the occupation. It cautioned, however, that the allegations and information it cited did not establish that they were true.
